It is suspected that the lives (in weeks) of the three
brands are different. Five batteries of each brand are
tested with the following results. Are the lives of the
three batteries are different.

bearing 'y' and its relationship to x1 = oil viscosity and
x2 = load. The following data were obtained. Fit a
simple regression model to the data (y vs. x1) and fit a
multiple regression model for the data.

Exercise 5: An experiment was run to determine the effect of type of tool,
the bevel angle and the type of cut on the power consumption of ceramic tool
cutting. Other variables such as cutting speed and depth of cut were kept at
uniform level during the experiment. The design and response data are given
below.
